Náutico

I was touching the sky
You had more than enough names
And outside, all night long
You broke the silence with me
No matter how hard I try, I can't
Ask you to unbutton yourself

The dawn and the heartache
Laughter unleashed
More coins without faces
The cross of remembering you
And so, hanging on, I carry you
Like that star on your back

For not saying: I love you
I found myself pulling away in the car and there
Where the sea ends, I left
Without stepping off the porch
After walking so much beach
What sand your body hides

There are lighthouses that never go out
And every thirteen seconds
The world overflows again
Dreaming of seeing your face
A flash that one morning
Changed my course to the north

Playing at piecing together words

Drunk on defiance
Going down her throat
The Moon grew
The Nautical closed early
With the luck
Of not realizing
That we were still inside

For not saying: I’m dying without you
I live with the pain of opening
Every hundredth of January
The door to her damnation
The one of imagining her return
Screaming at me: Sailor
Here I am for you to hurt
But this time I won’t move

For not saying: I’m dying without you
I live with the pain of opening
Every hundredth of January
The door to her damnation
The one of imagining her return
Screaming at me: Sailor
Here I am for you to hurt
But this time I won’t move
